Eating a Hotdog, Pt. 2 - _TNY_7313

One day back in Early August I happened upon a new nature reserve quite close to where I live. It's the Svartkällsskogen nature reserve which apparently houses a rare species of dragonfly, namely the scarce chaser (Libellula fulva).

 

I had no luck finding that one, but saw at least four other species instead, including this fourspotted chaser/skimmer (Libellula quadrimaculata) which was thoroughly enjoying eating a crane fly. I found it on a small bog next to a lovely small forest lake which turned out to actually be named "lilla skogsjön", menaing small forest lake.
